Maybe we should just go back to GB because battery was great and really had no issues on any level.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I wouldn't worry about that script right now. I can always post a flashable one later. I don't think that will cure your battery issues anyway. If you want to try something new, flash the FH23 rom in my sig and see how that performs for you.

Have you checked your battery lately? If you take it out and put it on a flat surface, give it a spin. If it spins like a top, then the battery is probably bad and has a slight bulge in it. I just replaced mine because my battery would drop from 99-80% in like an hour or two then settle down. Batteries are pretty inexpensive if you get them in the right place. I paid around $15 for an OEM battery shipped. We beat up these batteries pretty good and as the phone gets older, they're probably due for a fresh battery. Mine isn't even a year old yet.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] qxlooper:
so a full wipe and try that? on another note, if I have a nand backup of gb, can i just restore to that and all good or do i have to do other things first?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] alwaysbelieve1:
Ok I will try your Rom. How much different is it than this one?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] criccio:
Are any of you that are complaining of poor battery using the Kuban Kernel?

I have my CPU set at 1500MHz/200MHz hyper/sio and I use BetterBatteryStats and CPUSpy religiously to keep an eye on my installed apps and I think the battery is great.

I unplug my phone at 7AM and don't plug it in again until 9PMish w/ about an hour an a half of screen on time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] johnannie:
My Battery life has gone to hell with this one. something must have been running in the background because it got hotter than usual and it was almost dead after 4 hours of light use.

Also, about half the time I wake my phone the four buttons along the bottom are not accessable (Menu, Home, Back & Search). They take about 3 to 5 seconds to light up and become useable. Very annoying.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] criccio:
Something is broken. Are you keeping an eye on background processes with BatteryBatteryStats?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Shift Sunny:
Im using agats kernel 5.4

I didn't realize there was a kuban kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
This is a known issue with TW based ICS. When the battery falls below 40-50%, you're taking your life in your hands when you reboot. :eek:

The only workaround so far is to turn on airplane mode right before you reboot and that helps but not always.

---------- Post added at 09:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:06 PM ----------

Has everyone updated their tweaks? There is a post for updated tweaks accessible from MODS link in post 2 or my sig. FYI, this is a must if you are running any of the latest kernels as they break the stock Blazer tweaks.

As for the capacitive button thing. This is a known issue on TW ICS also. Sometimes worse than others but no real fix as far as I know.

Edit: Not blaming the tweaks for all your issues John. You may need to properly wipe and reflash the ROM to resolve some of those issues to see if it helps too.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] alwaysbelieve1:
Ok so I tried the ROM in your sig on a clean wipe/install. When I go into Titanium Backup it cannot find Root. When I open Super User it tells me that Su Binary is not installed.

I am also getting the OTA updater nagging me to install the update.

I tried reflashing it again and still have the same result. What is wrong and what should I do? I VERY much appreciate your help!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Anything related to a different rom should be posted in the correct ROM thread so people can help you there. Anyway, take the update so the message will go away, it won't install. Fixes have been posted in the OP of that ROM thread and also through the link in my sig.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Shift Sunny:
Will those tweaks work on blazer ROM with agats latest kernel?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] alwaysbelieve1:
Ah thx!! I didn't see the fixes there when I was on my phone using the XDA app, but do now from my computer. Thx again!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Yes they will.

I'm running ff13 on blazer and so far it's been good.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] halo117:
I can barely unplug my phone for more than 5 min now. "Sometimes" I saw the article on the portal about the Samsung Tabs having battery issues and having to cycle the system by dropping the battery to 0% then charging to 100% and repeat. So I thought I'd give it a shot. I put on a long youtube vid and its been on for an hour with out an issue. LoL :eek:

I am going to see if this works. The phone was barely useable...........
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leond:
I've started getting FH13 OTA update notifications today every 10 minutes. Is there a workaround to stop them?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Click on my sig for Blazer links. I posted something there for OTA.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lagallinavecchia:
TD, is this a complete wipe and install or can this go on top of the existing?

P.S. My battery life is HORRID... I'm hoping this one helps! I'll try a new battery as per your suggestion if it doesn't.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I'm recommending full wipe because of all the changes in FH23. But some brave souls have done the upgrade path. Download the 2 fixes from the link in my sig too. The one to restore root (not my fault, doesn't always happen, an FH23 thing) and the one to install fixed tweaks (that one I can take credit for ;)).

Address any questions or issues regarding that rom in that rom thread. Tnx - TD
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] criccio:
If you're having battery issues, you should be starting from scratch. Wipe EVERYTHING. I bet 10 to one you have a rogue app thats sucking the battery dry. Do you run CPUSpy and BetterBatteryStats?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Yes! Plus old habits are hard to break. To properly resolve and troubleshoot battery life issues, run it for a while completely stock with no additional apps downloaded and installed, period! Then ramp up a few apps at a time.

Note: I normally do this type of testing at night or over a weekend where it will not affect downtime for me using the phone for work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ratchet789:
Using the FH23 and im seeing results better reception in places it been down to 1x, 3g is slightly doing better right now at my current job im in a spot where i rom all day. So lets see how things go all day and ill report back if i remember lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
+1

Low signal areas have improved for me as well in the Tampa area.

Not stellar but it is noticeable since I travel the area for work and hit a few low signal areas consistently.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lagallinavecchia:
Wipe - done. I'll slowly add my apps back after I get my battery fully charged. I don't run either of those, but I'll grab them.

Thanks guys!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
BBS is free somewhere here on XDA. Don't have the home thread handy. Click on my sig,, instructions are posted somewhere.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lagallinavecchia:
I can already tell the difference... Just curious why the 'Sprint Zone' and the Sprint startup screen? It's been left of just about every previous version, so wondering why we have it now. No big deal, as long as this thing doesn't vampire my battery again!

Where is the link to download this rom
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
Saw this on the portal a few days ago. Looks like it's in the very early stages of development but shows promise.

I haven't tried it. Maybe if it gets more mature I'll check it out.

I am loath to attemp to mess with very early stage development 'tools/apps' that mess with partitions. Especially the 'universal' type of tools. My experience here has been that most of them kill our (E4GT) phone. Read about all the bricks we had from people using international ROMs and tools such as ROM Manager.

I need my phone for business and personal so I can't afford to be without it very long if something were to happen.

Why don't you try it and report to us? That way we here in the E4GT forum will know.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ratchet789:
Sooooo i came back with some results wifi kills battery quicker on fh23. After 8 hours on wifi my phone down to 9%. But other then that everything seems to be good but wifi.

Does this come with the Sprints Hotspot 4G hack?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JAMBergie:
Try this for poor battery life

Hey All,

I don't know if this will help others, and this is only an N of one, but it helped for me. I have been using TouchDown for my business email as I did not want the security features of the stock email to take over my phone. A few weeks ago I tried the stock email program when the hack was circulating to remove the security from the stock email. During that time, my battery life was horrible. The stock email was set up with push notifications and other settings similar to how I had TouchDown set up. I have since stopped using the stock email and removed my work profile from it, and my battery life has improved again. I don't know if this is true for anyone else, but may be worth a try if your battery life is poor.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] criccio:
Something was broken. My battery life is awesome and im connected to an Exchange server with the stock mail app.

BetterBatteryStats log files should be required when people are complaining about battery life. It tells all.

Patience is not your virtue. You'd think with the all the time in between updates you'd have had time to read the recent posts on this thread, namely the one by tdunham saying that he and Phantom were not planning to update this to FH23 because the changes were small.

Wait for Samsung/Sprint to update first. Then we can get something
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigtoysrock:
Why would ya wanna update something good to something crap with issues? Oh wait, latest and greatest thing out there is always the best huh....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] halo117:
Okay guys I guy a new battery. It was all fat and bulging. I think I will be waiting for the battery issues to get fixed before I try ICS again. How is jellybean coming along for us? The lady at sprint also told me I needed to get a new sd card because the factory ones where causing battery problems. She also said not to get a class ten but to stay with a class 4. Any validity to these statements?

Noticing a few issues after my first tango with this rom. And these are things that may have already been covered, but I don't want to sift through 944 other pages of content.

FIXEDFirst problem is how to get rid of the OTA notification. I had something for GB roms but it didn't seem to work for this one.

Second problem is that some apps, like the XDA one for example, are not able to be installed to my phone. The exact message is 'Couldn't install on USB storage or SD card.' I am not having trouble with other apps, such as Facebook, Chrome, Soundcloud, Bank Of America. Why is it not allowing me to install?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] b727pilot:
As far as the driving mode here is what I did to fix my issues. I also had my phone randomly switching back and forth from driving mode and I grabbed a can of compressed air and sprayed it into the charging port. This fixed it for about a month and it started again. So, being the brain I am :), I sprayed it again and all is well. I carry mine around in my pocket all the time and I think the problem is that dust/lint gets on the connectors and messes with the phone.

Give it a shot it sure can't hurt and in my case I was able to use my phone again :) yeaaaaa
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] THEGUYRock:
I cleaned them out and.it worked fine for a hour. Then I went back to the GB ROM and no issues what so ever. I'm going to download a fresh file in a moment and try one last time.

It was also turning the phone screen on and off. And starting random apps, ect. As well as if I try to charge it even with the oem charger and cable it wont stay off. I'll turn it off to.fully charge and.it turns itself on and off randomly.Like the phone was possessed. I'll let you know if it gets better.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] b727pilot:
That should work. Mine was doing the same thing. Worked fine for over a month the started acting up again. Cleaned it out and all is good again for:)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dataman:
why not take in the phone to sprint for repair or cleaning or replacement

again I am advanced enough to open it up myself all the way to the LCD but it takes time.

so if my phone is acting up all I do is go back to stock GB ROM and if the problem persists the phone goes to sprint for replacement

Hey guys! I have been thinking about running this ROM but I am caught between flashing the GB ROM or updating to FF18 and flashing the ICS ROM. What's an average battery life from the users running the ICS ROM? I love GB but I want to be up to date. I love the look and feel of ICS. I tried JB CM10 Paranoid Android but the battery was just so bad and I had some issues with LoS. Any insight on these would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!!

EDIT: Is there a working link anywhere?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] THEGUYRock:
Still doing it even after a fresh DL. I cleaned the charge port out with air then alcohol and then blew it out with air again. Worked fine for a hour or two but then flipped out and car mode was turning on and off so fast and often I couldn't even turn the phone off. I had to pull the battery.

So I thought maybe the phone just didn't like ICS so I put the coalition ROM in and so far no issues. Sucks though since I have run blazer since it released and really liked the ICS build. Wish there was a way to get it to work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crkdslider:
